Looking for some build advice. I currently have a drone imaging camera with three PWM switches.
I do not intend to mount the camera on a drone (thereby not using a traditional receiver/transmitter option). I am looking for a reliable way to set up a direct link from the camera pwm wiring- to a receiver- to a controller. Ideally with 3 programmable ranges for 3 switches or toggles.
Any help would be appreciated
Hi DCaravan,
I’m not 100% sure i understand your problem but here is what i think.
You need to control a camera that has an input (single) for PWM to trigger 3 states. And you need a “box” that will do that without a standard RC system.
The easiest thing i can think of would be a simple Arduino microcontroller and a simple program.
There is a large range of different Arduino compatible microcontroller but i’ll suggest ours the LSS-2IO.
Using the Arduino Servo Library in the code would make things easier

So you would have to connect your 3 way switch ouputs (5v) to 3 pins on the controller.
In the code, read those pins which will trigger the appropriate output.
NOTE: I’m not a programmer myself, this is not a bulletproof code.
In this example code, you would have to “gnd” the pin to make it active.
All the best,
